The next morning Cassi felt relaxed and refreshed. She looked over and saw George asleep peacefully, his mouth slightly open and snoring lightly. She debated on whether or not she should wake him up, and decided that it was a good moment to play a prank. She grabbed a pillow and transfigured it into a kitten. It had black fur and purple eyes. She nodded to herself and made the kitten begin to pat George on the cheek as she hid under the bed.

"Cassi," he asked, and she heard him shuffle around then jump, "Merlin! Cassi! You're a cat!"

"What's happening George," Fred asked, his voice sleepy as he padded over to George.

"Cassi is a cat," George exclaimed, and Cassi silently laughed, her body shaking with it.

"She's real cute Georgie," Fred said and Cassi laughed again. She heard George begin to splutter and decided it was a good moment to step out. She crawled out from underneath the bed, a grin on her face.

"It's ok George, I'm not a cat," she said, and laughed when he jumped and dropped the cat. She stood up and turned it back into a pillow. He narrowed his eyes at her, but there was a smile on his face.

"Sneaky sneaky. I almost thought you had turned into an animagus or something," he told her as he stood up and wrapped his arms around her waist. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips.

"I could tell you were freaking out, so I decided to put your fear to rest," she said as she smiled at him, he smiled back then pulled away.

"It's Sunday," he told her and they sat on the foot of his bed, "Are you going to go to the Slytherin dorms, or are you going to come eat with us lions?" Cassi pondered this for a moment, thought about if anyone would notice that her clothes were the same as yesterday. She mentally shrugged to herself; even if they did she didn't care.

"No, I think I'll come down and eat with you kitties. I hope I won't be a bother though," she said suddenly, and George looked at her. He saw the reluctance in her eyes and pulled her up from the bed. He looked into her eyes as he placed his hands on her face.

"You will not be a bother Cassi," he told her gently, "And if they bother you I'll tell them off and we'll go somewhere else. Don't worry about it, ok love?" She nodded and he gave her another kiss, but this one was lasted longer. She sighed as he kissed her with gentleness and care and she fought all of her senses to pull away.

"Let me go get dressed, and I'll meet you down stairs," she told him, then grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom to change. She took her time with her shower, allowing the steam and heat to clear her mind. She conjured up a toothbrush and brushed her teeth while she magically dried her hair. When she was completely finished she casted a disillusionment charm and snuck out of the bathroom as quietly as she could. She saw Fred and George in the bright orange boxers, telling jokes to each other. She sighed a little as she looked over the tall and muscular bodies of the two, and was thankful that Quidditch had been created for all of the women that want to look at something very delicious. Unfortunately she was so wrapped up at looking at the identical brothers she didn't know that she had been caught.

"Like what you see love," George asked as he faced towards her and she jumped. She took down the charm and smirked at the two. She bit her lip as she nodded.

"I like what I see very much. It's a shame we have to go down and eat," she said, then sighed again, causing George to grin at her. He stepped towards her, making her press up against the wall. His hands were on either side of her head, and he was smirking down to her.

"You know you can have this anytime you want it," he told her and she smirked back at him. She bit her bottom lip again as she tilted her head to the side.

"Is that so," she asked and he nodded, "I don't know if you would be able to handle it though." She smiled, and right as he was about to speak she ducked under his arm and waved lazily without looking back, "See you down stairs kitty." It was silent in the room for a few seconds as the two boys stared at the doorway.

"Did she just call you kitty," Fred asked suddenly, breaking the silence. George nodded dumbly, then broke out of the trance and wiped away some saliva that had run down his chin.

"Yea, she did. What," he asked as Fred began to laugh at him. Fred began to shake his head.

"Nothing twin. It's just that she called you kitty! How funny is that," Fred exclaimed, curled over from the laughter. George swatted him with a pillow, but that seemed to make him laugh harder. George began to grumble about being called a kitty then began to get dressed.

~0~0~0~

Cassi, George, and Fred all walked down to the Great Hall together for breakfast. They were laughing at a joke Fred had said when Ron suddenly appeared before them. George and Fred eyed him warily, but Cassi just smiled.

"Fred, George, can you give us a moment," she said kindly, never tearing her eyes away from Ron. Fred left promptly, glaring at Ron, but George began to move away reluctantly. Cassi noticed his reluctance and her smile grew wider, "It's ok love. I can handle myself." George stepped towards Ron, anger in his eyes.

"One wrong move little brother," George told him threateningly. Ron just glared back at him, and George left his threat hanging in the air. Cassi just continued to look at Ron, and waited for him to look at her, but he kept his eyes down.

"I'm sorry," he grumbled out as he shuffled his left foot back and forth.

"No you aren't, one of your family, most likely Ginny, told you apologize to me today, or else they you tell your mother," she said to him, and his eyes shot up and looked at her. Her smile had never left her face.

"I apologized. What else do you want from me," he asked, his voice taking on a whiny quality.

"I want you to mean it," she said, her smile fell now, "The words have no meaning if you don't feel them. Until you mean them, don't apologize for it."

"Ginny will tell mum," Ron said and Cassi smiled at him again.

"That's another reason why you shouldn't apologize for it if you don't mean it. I would much rather have you be rude to me, than give me false apologies. Tell Ginny you apologized, but I just didn't accept it. Let's go get some breakfast. I am starving," she began to walk away when he gently placed his hand on her shoulder. She looked back at him and saw the sheepish look he had on his face.

"I really am sorry Cassiopeia," he said, and she knew he meant it, "I shouldn't have been such a prat. And you were right; I was selfish for asking you to break up with George. You aren't like most Slytherins I've met."

"Not all of us are like Draco Malfoy or Pansy Parkinson. And I hope you can remember that for the future; not all Slytherins are evil, just like not all Gryffindors are good," she said to him and he gave a sharp nod.

"I will try to be more open-minded. Even though it's hard to remember when Malfoy is getting on my nerves," he said to her and cracked a smile. She smiled back and laughed.

"Even us Slytherins want to ring his neck most of the time. But I pity him," Cassi admitted to him and Ron gave her a confused look as they began to walk to the Gryffindor table.

"Why would you pity him? It's like he tries to make our lives miserable," Ron said and sat down across from her while she sat between the twins. George grabbed her hand and gave everyone a confused look at the two new friends. They carried on their conversation, ignoring the looks they were getting.

"Think about it Ron. You and your family are surrounded by love, even if you don't have money. All Draco is surrounded with is expectations. The expectation of being the top wizard in school, in all aspects of it. His mother loves him a lot, but in an aristocratic pure-blood family like that, it's about what the man says. So Lucius Malfoy has all of the control, if he says Draco doesn't get to eat dinner because he didn't beat Granger, Draco doesn't get dinner."

"Your family is different," Ron asked, and the group became intrigued with her back story. She smiled when she noticed the sudden interest.

"Oh no," she said and gave a laugh, "If my father tried to pull something like that he would be sleeping on the couch. My mother is the boss of the house, whatever she says goes. My dad is too soft-hearted to do something like that."

"What houses were your parents in," George asked and Cassi gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"My mother was a Hufflepuff, and my father was a Slytherin. His dad was going to set him up with an arranged marriage, but he ran away with my mum. My grandfather forgot to take him out of the will, and now my dad is head of one of the top clothing industries in the wizarding world, and a bite in some of the muggle industries as well."

"McKenna clothing," Hermione asked suddenly and Cassi nodded. Hermione gasped and everyone looked at her.

"Merlin! His clothes are amazing. What is his wizarding branch," Hermione asked. Cassi grinned.

"He owns Wizard Rags, as well as many clothing shops in France and Spain. And some in Japan and China," Cassi explained and suddenly Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil crowded around her.

"You are Cassiopeia McKenna," Lavender Brown asked and Cassi nodded, "Your father is Joseph McKenna?"

"Yes," Cassi said, but her annoyance was building. Hermione and Ginny rolled their eyes when Rose walked over.

"You two aren't bothering my best friend here are you," Rose asked, towering over the two girls. The younger girls looked up at Rose and gave her fearful looks. They shook their heads silently and she bent over in between them and whispered, "Then why are you still here?" They scurried off back to their group of friends, causing Cassi to laugh. Rose smiled at her and Cassi stood up to give her a hug.

"I feel like I haven't seen you in ages," Cassi told her and scooted closer to George to give her room to sit down. Rose said greeted the others and sat down. Ron stared at Rose with a dopey look on his face, which the two older girls noticed.

"Does he usually do that," Rose asked as she continued to watch Ron. Cassi tried to hold back her laughter, but the twins weren't helping by snickering.

"No, no he doesn't. I think it means he finds you pretty," George said and the three laughed, but Ron just kept looking at her.

"I find you very pretty as well," Fred said next to, a lopsided grin on his face. Rose gave out a sharp laugh.

"Sorry, I already have a boyfriend," Rose told him, and the twins raised their eyebrows in questioning.

"You do," Cassi asked, "Who?"

"Him," Rose said and pointed to Ron. Ron broke out of his trance and pointed to himself.

"Me," he asked then looked around, "Wouldn't you rather have him," he pointed to Harry, "Or him," he pointed to Fred. Rose shook her head.

"No, you're cute," Rose said matter-of-factly, she stood up and walked around and gave him a kiss on the cheek, causing him to blush, "See you later cutie." She waved good bye as she walked away, leaving a grinning Ron who was touching his cheek where she kissed him.

"Wow, I was not expecting that at all," Fred said, "shame, she is quite the lovely bird."

"Indeed," George agreed and Cassi hit his arm, "Not that you aren't beautiful love. You are gorgeous." Cassi grabbed his face and gave him a hard kiss. She pulled away quickly and he continued to kiss the air. Cassi laughed at him then stood up. She gave him another quick kiss.

"I have to go take a shower," she said and he began to stand up too.

"I'll come with you," he told her and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. Cassi laughed as she pressed his chest to push him down as she shook her head.

"No, I don't think so. Maybe next time," she smirked and he stood up straighter.

"Is that a promise," he asked and she laughed.

"No, that was a maybe. I'll see you later babe," she said then walked away and waved a lazy goodbye, never looking back at him.

"First kitty, now babe," Fred said and George turned sharply around and looked at his twin, "You love her George?"

"No," George said matter-of-factly, "But I'm close."

One Month Later

"Hermione and Ron are missing," George said to Cassi as they walked down to the lake with Fred. They were trying to sell some of their products before the next challenge started. Cassi looked at him and noticed how calm the twins looked.

"Are they ok? Do you know where they are," she asked them and they shook their heads.

"Dumbledore said to us that Ron is safe, so assuming that Hermione is in the same place, they are safe," Fred told her and she lifted a single eyebrow, "Well, as safe as they can be. But Harry isn't with them, so they aren't doing something dangerous like battling snakes or things like that." Cassi nodded her head as she waited for the twins to sell some of their products. She was amazed that their mother won't allow them to invent their products, some of them, most of them were truly brilliant. Soon the products were gone and they walked down to the lake to watch the next challenge.

She felt a bit chilled standing beside the water, but she watched intently as they Champions jumped into the water. She saw Harry eat something and gracelessly fall into the water, clutching to his neck. Clawing at it. She began to bite her lip in worry and impatience. She felt an arm wrap around her body and she looked over and saw George.

"If Harry is anything, he is a survivor," he told her, and all she could do was nod as they waited and watched. Krum came out first with Hermione, his face changing back from the shark head he had become. Next came Cedric with Cho Chang. Cassi began to chew her cheek as Fleur Delacour came out empty handed. Cassi groaned out.

"Harry is going to try to save her sister," Cassi grumbled out and the twins looked at her, startled.

"How do you know her sister is down there? And how do you know Harry is going to try to save her," they asked at the same time, and Cassi glared at the water.

"Well they picked their most prized possessions, or most prized people. When Krum came out with Hermione, and Cedric with Cho Chang, I put two and two together. And Harry would try to save her sister because that's how you Gryffindors are."

"Would you try to save her," George asked and Cassi looked at him.

"I would like to say I would, but I honestly don't know," she told him and he gave a sharp nod.

"Fair answer," George said, but he didn't look back at her, and Cassi began to bite her lip again when he removed her arm. She looked back at the water and saw a blonde head pop up, then a black and red one. She jumped up and squealed with happiness.

"He did it! He did it," she said, but George was ignoring her. He was celebrating with Fred, and when she saw this she furiously wiped her tears away. He never looked at her, never shared his smile with her, and as her lip began to quiver from holding in her tears she silently backed away, hoping that he would notice that she wasn't there, but he never did. She turned around and walked away, the tears falling down her face. Fred saw her leave and he stopped cheering and looked at George, "Cassi's leaving twin."

George turned around and saw the empty space where she used to be and shrugged, "Not my problem."

"What do you mean 'not my problem'? You girlfriend is leaving in tears," Fred said and George scowled, "What the bloody hell happened."

"We disagreed on something. She walked away, I'm giving her space," George said in a 'drop it' tone, but Fred refused to.

"You mean you ignored her because she admitted to the fact that she might not save a stranger while trying to save someone she loved," George looked sharply at him and he nodded, "Oh yea, I saw that. We are bonded, remember? I know what you're feeling, and I can tell you right now that what you're doing isn't right. It's stupid to be mad at her over that. You better fix it George, or I will."

George didn't say anything, just stalked off. He ran a hand through his hair as he thought about what he did, "Fred is right," he whispered to himself, "But then again, Fred is rarely wrong." George pondered over what happened as he went to go look for her.
